Short summary
This study improves the analysis of curved wind turbine blades, such as those with sweep or prebend. Existing methods often blend different effects on blade performance, making design optimization challenging. We developed a framework that disentangles these effects, providing clearer insights. Our findings show that the aerodynamic influences of sweep and prebend can be modeled separately and combined, simplifying modeling processes and supporting more efficient blade design.
